Statement of Significance

The grandest classical church building in Victoria, designed by Joseph Reed and built in 1861-2, incorporating part of the previous building of 1845 by John Gill to which the gallery was added internally. The tetrastyle prostyle Corinthian portico is set imposingly at the head of a flight of steps from Collins Street; with its finely detailed lintels and brackets it is the oldest complete example surviving on any non-residential building in the state. The low shop which has been added at street footpath level is excluded from the Classification.
